Explanation
Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of crashes, and the leading cause is following too closely. When drivers fail to maintain a safe following distance, they may not have enough time to react if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows down or stops.
To reduce the risk of a collision, always leave enough space between your vehicle and the one in front - especially in heavy traffic, bad weather, or low visibility conditions. Increasing your following distance in these situations gives you more time to stop safely.
